Snowpack

Dug a pit on a wind loaded South East aspect. Focused on upper snowpack. Noted hardness change within new snow, but seemed irrelevant or losing ability to be a valid weak layer. Melt Freeze crust is still very much present, with facets above and below. However, RVT did not yield results, and it took a great amount of strength to cause the block to shear on the Melt Freeze layer. Small wind skins and sluff noted, but nothing of concern
